True I'm watching CNN they are making it seem like someone close to the saints tripped the relay...How sad is this that CNN makes it a "breaking news" piece on top of their website. Big freaking deal! Get to real news.
too bad there's not a "rogue cop" manhunt story to followHow sad is this that CNN makes it a "breaking news" piece on top of their website. Big freaking deal! Get to real news.
Well, the next natural question is what about the switch gear box failed? Was it a mechanical failure during normal operation (if so, bad manufacturing), did some electrical event cause an issue that eventually showed its self?So the blame falls on the company that made the switch, right?
The emergency lights did come on immediately. From what I've heard, the problem was fixed within minutes. Most of the "black out" was waiting for the lights to warm back up.relays go bad, it happens but you would think they would have a backup circuit for something as big as the superdome. Generators should kick power on as soon as power is lost and power should never go out... getting power from an UPS system until the generators take over.
They have backup generators already but that would be one massive UPS system to keep all the electrical on until backup could be switched over. UPS is usually used only for essential equipment.relays go bad, it happens but you would think they would have a backup circuit for something as big as the superdome.
